You referring to Dardanelle? if so i can't speak for piney but the strip pits kicked my rear friday and sunday. caught a total of 6 crappie both days it was my first time fishing there and my first time ever fishing over 15ft deep lol. that takes some getting used to. Friday i spoke to a regular and he went on and on about how horrible it's been in the pits this year and he hadn't caught a fish so i felt good about the few i had. i guess i'll leave the lake alone until camp. it's an awful long drive from Cabot to try and make several trips and not do any good.
